TidyCal used to be more competitive when Calendly was it's only competitor. This is because TidyCal is a one-time payment of $29 (vs. paying a subscription for Calendly). But recently, a new scheduling tool called Cal.com has come on the market, and they offer everything that TidyCal does on their free tier, making it no longer a competitive choice. So skip TidyCal, and go for Cal.com.
After trying various link shorteners, I found Short, which was basic but met my needs.
But I didn’t switch to Short.io because it was a great solution – I did it because it was just adequate enough to do the most basic of redirects. Case in point: I never once used it for reporting because it was a complete mess.
Then I tried Dub and was drawn to how simple/clean the UI/UX was. I switched over from Short and haven't look back. Oh, and I now regularly check my reporting/analytics in Dub now as they have much more user-friendly dashboards.
The simplest way to book and schedule meetings.
TidyCal might have caught your attention because it offers a one-time payment of $29 instead of a subscription model. It includes scheduling and payment features, which can be tempting...but let us tell you, it's not worth it.
First, we generally don’t recommend purchasing software with one-time payments because they often lack ongoing updates and support. Subscriptions ensure that a team is continuously improving the product and driving innovation, whereas a one-time fee usually means little to no advancement.
The other reason it's not worth it is because a newer scheduler called Cal.com offers everything that TidyCal does on their free tier 😅
TidyCal was more appealing when it only competed with Calendly, but now, with Cal.com on the market —well — you do the math.
